A "most important" principle to govern your life - Matthew 5-7

Matthew 5-7 is known as the "Sermon on the Mount." It is by far the greatess sermon ever preached and ever to be preached. Christ summerizes the entire Old Testament in one-twenty-minute sermon. He takes the entire Law and makes it simply and understood. He outlines prayer and what to do with it and how to "do it." He takes daily life and summarizes how to not worry in it, while at the same time showing us how to treat those around us who are both for us and against us. It is the "whole package." As He speaks, Christ also gives us an underlying principle to use as the governer for our life - the control switch. In 5:16 we read, "Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven." Our entire life questions of "should we do this or do that?" or "what does God want me to do with this or that?" is summarized in this small, yet powerful passage. We are to consider that whatever we do is a reflection of the light of God and to draw people to notice God. As I write this the "Tim Tebow" craze is taking our country by storm. Tim Timbow is a believer who has risen to fame as an NFL football player who can't do the one very well but lives the other outlout in front of the world. You may not like his "outward" confessions of faith, but when did any other "Christian" football player strike a conversation up about how God helps us win or not win. I have no doubth that the shine will fall off Tebow's star at some point - it has to for all men. However, he does live his life according to this passage. Let your life so shine that they may see your good works and glorify your father in heaven. "Let it shine!" should be our guiding principle for life.
